Bjørn Okholm Skaarup Prints and Multiples
Illustrator and sculptor Bjørn Okholm Skaarup brings vibrant life to his contemporary art through a parade of joyfully imaginative animalistic figures. These creatures are often depicted in anthropomorphic poses, such as a cheetah riding a scooter or a rhino dressed as a harlequin.
Okholm Skaarup was born in 1973 in Rudkøbing, Denmark. In 1994, he began working at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen. In 2004, he moved to Florence, Italy, to study the work of the Renaissance masters and learn large-scale bronze casting. He received a PhD in 2009 from the European University Institute.
Now based in New York City, Okholm Skaarup builds on elements of art history in his work, as seen in his numerous renditions of the Hippo Ballerina, which is a whimsical take on Edgar Degas’s The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer with an enthusiastic nod to Disney. Many of his artworks contain a mischievous twist, like his bronze sculpture of a lion with a crown on his head, riding a rocking horse instead of a majestic stallion.
Okholm Skaarup is a member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors and has exhibited his works at many notable venues, including the Koldinghus Museum in Kolding, Denmark, the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut, the Four Seasons Hotel in Florence and the Hotel Cipriani in Venice.

- The architecture of decay -
About the artwork
Jörg Olberg draws here the sum of his artistic study of the Berlin ruins, which were still present in the cityscape well into the 80s. With his work "Agony" he creates an allegory of decay. Positioned in the landscape of ruins, a ruined house grows before the viewer, rising like the Tower of Babel into the sky, its roof and gable brightly illuminated by the sun. But already the roof shows mostly only the rafters, and as the gaze is drawn further down, the building visibly disintegrates, the beams protruding in all directions looking like splintered bones. Slowly but inexorably - in agony - the house will collapse in on itself and become nothing more than the burial mound of itself. At the same time, the small-scale stone composition and the plaster form a pattern-like ornamentation of decay.
The tension in the picture is fed by the counter-movement of growth and collapse, which is heightened by the dramatic formation of clouds. The swirls of clouds are reminiscent of a world landscape...
